Lady Pirates defeat Cowgirls in bi-district battle

For the second time in eight days, Perrin’s volleyball team faced its in-county rival Bryson. The Lady Pirates swept the Cowgirls in their first meeting Oct. 24... and repeated the effort in the Class A Bi-District round Tuesday, Oct. 31 with a 25-23, 25-17, 25-19 win at Mineral Wells High School.

Perrin Coach Rebekah Bland said her squad rebounded from slow starts in the games.

“We got down, but didn’t quit,” Bland said. “The playoffs gave us a little bit of nerves I think but we were able to turn it around.”
